Description

Tumbleweeds (United Artists, 1925). Lobby Card Set of 8 (11"
X 14").
William S. Hart was one of the earliest cowboys of the silent
cinema. As Hart actually grew up in the West, he brought a natural
realism and stoicism to the screen. By 1925, his style of acting
was on the way out with audiences favoring stars like Tom Mix and
Buck Jones who brought more stuntwork and comedy to their films.
But Hart prevailed and under the direction of King Baggot, made his
last film one of the greatest Westerns of the era as it re-enacts
the Oklahoma land rush. One of the unusual aspects of this set is
that it doesn't have a title card. Most of the cards have one
pinhole per corner and some very minor stains on the left edge. The
card with the Indian warriors has a large stain in the middle of
the scene. Very Fine-.
